LOUGHBOROUGH College motor racing ace Seb Perez is in gear for his first race of the season this weekend at Brands Hatch in the Michelin Ginetta GT4 SuperCup Championship.

With a brand new car and championship ahead of him this season Perez (17) lapped the Indy Circuit at Brands Hatch in 47.859 seconds and a top speed of 105.3mph in testing, completing 71 laps of the 1.2079 mile circuit.

Driving for JHR Developments, this season marks a step forward to Perez who will be racing the Ginetta G55 race car after two seasons competing in the Simpson Race Products Ginetta Junior Championship.

He said he hopes his experience of the past seasons will reap dividends during this campaign.

““I’ve learnt a lot in the Ginetta G40 race car in Ginetta Juniors over the last two seasons and the circuits we have travelled too, so I’m hoping that experience will come in handy. I’m really looking forward to getting back out on track,”
